Is this same model you posted several months ago...? Appears to be a Rowe Commander Cigarette Vendor.There are a few things that need to occur before the vend cycle can begin... - Product has to depress the sold out lever - correct coins need to be deposited depending on pricing(if just testing and the CoinMaster Coin Mech has been removed, there is a way to trip the lever so the vend cycle will begin...)

Would be glad to assist, but you may need to send a good photo for reference, then I can circle various parts to check or be aware of... in the hopes of getting the machine to vend...

I did post a while back.I tried cig packs and blocks of wood to keep the lever downHow do I trip the lever so the pulls work?

I cannot get to my Rowe Commander for reference, so...First, tape down a few of the sold out levers at the bottom of each column.In the image, locate the parts 1 & 2 as these will begin to move while pulling a selection knob/pullIf any part of the coin detectors move outward attempting to detect coins, the cycle will be halted because the mechanism detects no coins. You have to manually hold these levers, #3, as you pull the selection knob/pull.Let me know if you get results...

See photo-I tried keeping the little tabs down. I have blocks of wood sitting in the slot. I can move part 2 forward but the pull knobs still don't come forward. I have the kechanism out of the carcass. Could this cause a problem?

Having the vending mech out of the cabinet does not affect operation...So, to reiterate, you placed wood blocks into a vend column which dis-engages the sold out lock lever, you hold the "coin" fingers/feelers, #3 in my photo, and keep them from traveling to the right while pulling the knob for the product column with the wood block... If this is all correct, the only thing I can think of at this time is to ensure every pull knob is securely and correctly positioned all the way back in the ready to vend position.
